  1. Ireland 14-7 Australia

    Ireland are showing plenty of patience on the fringes of the 22. No real damage is being done so far.

  2. Ireland 14-7 Australia

    Rory Best
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sports

    Some of Australia's big leaders stood up there.

    Harry Wilson, Robby Valetini and Len Ikitau all had big moments in that play.

  3. Ireland 14-7 Australia

    Sam Prendergast sends the ball into the Dublin night and Mack Hansen forces Filipo Daugunu to knock it on.

    Ireland have the scrum midway through the Aussie half.

  4. Ireland 14-7 Australia

    So Ireland have been in the Australian 22 twice and scored twice, and the Wallabies have been in the opposing red zone once and made it count.

    Lively.

    Converted Try - Ireland 14-7 Australia

    Len Ikitau (con O'Connor)

    They make their pressure count!

    Ireland had their backs against the wall but Len Ikitau beats Sam Prendergast to barrel over the line.

    James O'Connor converts.

  6. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Australia have the penalty advantage and are right under the Irish posts.

  7. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Australia are now right in the Irish 22.

    Can they make it count? Ireland have been clinical at the other end.

  8. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Rory Best
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sports

    This is a very important period of time for Australia.

    They have got to try to get control of this game and the momentum.

  9. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    This is better from Australia, as Angus Bell throws a nice dummy and sets Harry Potter away, who then sends it forward.

    Mack Hansen clears in return, and feels a little short changed from the assistant referee who didn't go as far as the Irish full-back would have hoped.

  10. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Brian O'Driscoll
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sport

    You would be disappointed if you were the Australian defence coach here.

    McCloskey has a bit of a juggle and he shouldn't get a second grab on it when he does.

  11. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    The throw has too much on it and Caelan Doris brings the ball forward.

    Fraser McReight then infringes and Prendergast will wallop this clear.

  12. Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Australia have the penalty advantage and it's a first foray into the Irish half.

    They fluff their lines but play is brought back by referee Karl Dickson.

    James O'Connor sends the ball into the 22.

  13. try

    Converted Try - Ireland 14-0 Australia

    Mack Hansen (con Prendergast)

    Rinse and repeat. Mack Hansen is at the double.

    It's a carbon copy of the first try as McCloskey brings Ireland a metre out, the hosts work it through the hands and Hansen races through a gap and under the posts.

    Prendergast converts again.

    What a start this is from Ireland.

  14. Ireland 7-0 Australia

    Ireland come again and Stuart McCloskey is down just short.

  15. Ireland 7-0 Australia

    We've a bit of a stoppage as James Ryan is getting patched up.

    Ireland are in a great position when we get going again.

  16. Ireland 7-0 Australia

    Australia go early from the scrum and Ireland win the free-kick.

    Sam Prendergast lands a wonder kick right into the corner, and Max Jorgensen makes a meal of it and knocks it on.

    That's a shocker from the Aussie full-back. A blinder from Prendergast.

  17. 'Fantastic start'

    Ireland 7-0 Australia

    Brian O'Driscoll
    Former Ireland captain on TNT Sport

    Fantastic start from Ireland and exactly what Andy Farrell would have wanted.

    It wasn't perfect, but there was slick handling and it is unrecognisable to what they have been like the last few weeks.

  18. Ireland 7-0 Australia

    This has been lively.

    Sam Prendergast nails James O'Connor and wins the knock on scrum.

  19. Ireland 7-0 Australia

    Matt Gault
    BBC Sport NI senior journalist at Aviva Stadium

    This is what has been largely lacking for Ireland in recent weeks. Clarity of thought and sweetness of execution.

    Andy Farrell said during the week that Mack Hansen had the bit between his teeth after the injury that disrupted his Lions tour.

    He wasn't joking.

  20. try

    Converted Try - Ireland 7-0 Australia

    Mack Hansen (con Prendergast)

    Return of the Mack!

    The quick penalty form Jamison Gibson-Park had Australia all over the park, and the never recovered as Mack Hansen darts through one of many gaps in the gold line of defence to score under the posts.

    Sam Prendergast adds the easy conversion.
